A new analysis by UCLA associate professor Zachary Steinert-Threlkeld suggests that most Angelenos support new housing construction, challenging the long-standing narrative that Los Angeles is dominated by NIMBY sentiment.
Governor Gavin Newsom’s SAFE Task Force, in partnership with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles County, dismantled a large encampment along the 110 Freeway and connected residents with shelter and supportive services, marking the task force’s first effort in Southern California.
Donald Trump attacked California Governor Gavin Newsom without evidence, alleging the state is in the “final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades”, while fact-checks and state records show no evidence of any state plan to approve such housing.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has urged Governor Gavin Newsom to veto Senate Bill 79, which seeks to accelerate housing development statewide, arguing that it poses significant risks to Los Angeles communities and undermines local control, while housing advocates argue that the bill is necessary to address California’s housing and climate crises.
Tom Steyer is urging California lawmakers and residents to pass Senate Bill 79, which would allow more mid-rise apartments near public transportation, cut through red tape for projects built on transit land, and require accountability measures to ensure housing targets are met, in order to address the state’s housing crisis.
The California Democratic Party has endorsed State Senator Scott Wiener’s Senate Bill 79, which would legalize multifamily homes near major public transit stops statewide, marking a major shift in the party’s approach to housing policy.
The Los Angeles City Council narrowly voted to oppose SB 79, a state housing bill that would allow mid-rise apartments near major transit stops with affordable units, drawing criticism from housing advocates and pro-housing groups who argue the city is prioritizing wealthy elites over working-class Angelenos.
California has passed two bills, the No Secret Police Act and the No Vigilantes Act, aimed at ending the use of face coverings by law enforcement and requiring clearer identification, in response to concerns over secretive and aggressive federal immigration enforcement operations in the state.
